have to go over van ness. it's like going over a rocky road. it takes me longer because i have to go through all kinds of hassles to get over the rough road at van ness or market street at the walkways and the fact of the matter it takes me so long that i'm constantly trying to rush and sometimes triping in the process, because the light is going to change and the light is going to change for normal walking people, but timing-wise, unless there is a fix, on the actual pedestrian walkway areas, it takes me more time than is absolutely available to get across the street. so in particular van ness, what a nightmare. market street, the tracks, the cracks, the this, the that. they are awful. i don't understand. i know there was supposed to be money for fixing highways. if they would focus some of that initially on the walking areas, for pedestrian and disabilities, it would be a huge help. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. >> good afternoon mayor's disability council. ain't no city mountain high -- ain't no disability low -- ain't no city hall wide enough to stop us. if you need me, ca

our roof camera here on van ness avenue. cleanup efforts are underway along the embarcadero in san francisco. after the city rang in the new year! >> not that bad of a start. not that cold. relatively dry we do have some high clouds but mainly clear skies. here is a look at the numbers. 40's through downtown san francisco. what you will notice is that temperatures are dry aiand -- not as cold as just 24 hours a goal however, there is a freeze warnings. there could be black ice, but another icy day. for tomorrow afternoon mostly sunny skies. and looking ahead, a generally dry forecast. we could see some rain and light snow is we go towards saturday. sunday, looking pretty decent. a quick look at the afternoon highs. 53 with a look at the rest of your your kron 4 7 day around the bay and now, traffic with george. >> we are expecting very little traffic. here is a look at walnut creek and 680. on the left side is the northbound coming out of scandal. and also towards dublin. you can see some light traffic around the bay. >> we are watching cleanup efforts along the embarcadero. to get

through some modification and also at sutter and van ness, under construction and nearing complete completion. i remember commissioner moore in particular had a lot of input on the design changes and the massing that makes a stronger cornice at a particular floor and makes it more sympathetic to the historic buildings that run along van ness there. in terms of cornices, the other thing and this is just a subtlety, but i looked at the before-and-after and i think a little heavier and richer looking cornice on the new design would keep it looking with the rest of the neighborhood. again, these are very easy things to do and they are not the essence of what we're working with here. but i think we're certainly moving forwards what i think will be a very fine project when hopefully it is approve >> commissioner moore? >> i just wanted to make sure that since we do not have any action items that all we can do is comment. which is guided by first the proper interpretation by the department should be guiding comments. i don't think we should be sitting today designing architecture on some

into the market van ness area. in our first move with our building what we have done is kept our low rise towards mission street and hi rise coming down the tenth street and towards market . and as the building turns we have our low rise on mission again. this allows light to come into jessie street and also lets views come -- views from crescent heights. and looking at the block as a whole we've broken down the proportions of the building that relate to the proportions of the rest of the block. this is crescent heights starting from market street down to mission, and we have a pattern of aba, and then a and b and give emphasis at the corner, but we also create high low high low rhythm so we keep with that rhythm, and then looking down mission street we keep low rise buildings coming along with the data center, and we extenuate housing with mercy housing here at the corner, and on the other side we have the low rise going down mission street again. and looking at the articulation of our skin we wanted to basically reinforce the articulation of the massing and with the corner element we play w

. there was a bowling alley that wanted to go in at 17th and van ness and they were not going to be able to do it because they would have been banned from even selling beer. that is the tip of the iceberg in terms of planning provisions that make it hard to foster a knife in the city. we are not always consistent with how we deal with liquor licenses. they can vary in different parts of the city. i know the chief is working hard to establish more consistency. i just want to say that the chief of police is probably the most pro-nightlife chief of police we have ever had. i think he understands it on a personal level. i appreciate that. until recently, we did not have anyone at our office of economic and workforce development that actually focus is on night life as industry. and of course, as you know, our transportation system does not support not live that well. we do not have nearly enough cabs so that people coming out and get along without drunk driving. bart -- bars to not stay open late enough. i do think things are changing at city hall and with city government generally. in the last bud

." people who are not recycling centers, but we have them across the street over at grove and van ness in the evenings. so they collect -- they collect cans and the recycling goods from individuals and they take it to recycling centers. so i anticipate that -- because kevin and i had this discussion as we looked at mobile retail, you know, because it's been talked about should we do something about making sure that these entities operate as a business? but then, there is the complexity of are they a recycling center or not a recycling center? so the complexities around this issue about mobile need to be plushed out, but my concern is that we will see a continued rise in these individuals who are doing recycling -- purchasing crv redemption goods off the street and they could also possibly begin to show up more and more in the neighborhoods. especially if we do have a reduction in recycling centers. so that is just another factor. so in terms of really encouraging the state to take a look at coming to some sort of strong recommendations and guidance around being able to create es
